Sir Tim Clark is concerned about Boeing.
In an exclusive interview with Air current On Tuesday morning, the longtime president of Emirates Airlines underwent surgical dissection of the U.S. aircraft manufacturer and his intense struggles were with the 737 Max, 777X and 787, which he believes exist, are systemic and soluble.
“The weakness for the company’s culture, strategy, direction, priority is on the Boeing board and no one else. And that’s where the deer should stop. And that’s why they need to lay off themselves, “he said. “So going forward, the airlines’ relationship with Boeing’s favorites will be conditioned by what they’re doing to solve their internal problems.”
Bowling is a public rebuke received from any customer following the crisis of his rolling series. Clark has been instrumental in advancing the largest Jetliner programs at Boeing and Airbus for decades and is one of the most influential figures in the industry. He believes Boeing has a way of rebuilding trust and confidence with regulators, customers and travelers.
“I feel like saying all this, but I’m kind of, I think it needs to be said, otherwise, we’ll just get out of the Max era, as if nothing happened.” Said Clark. Boeing’s leadership “can take them anyway. If they don’t like what they hear, it’s hard. Someone like me says, you need to support yourself. “
The nearly 90-minute interview covered detailed topics, including the future of the airline, the world’s largest international carrier recently, the COVID-19 epidemic, as well as its fleet strategy and its future. Its superjumbo airbase A380 fleet. Those topics will be explored in later articles.
Clark, 71, delayed his retirement last year as “this bloody epidemic”, in his words, devastating the emirate and the global airline industry. This phase of his career is tied to the conclusion that he has left the industry and is consistent with the worst safety and operational crisis in Boeing’s history.
